What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lismore, County Longford: an earthen ringfort on a drumlin ridge, its low bank and hidden entrance surviving in pasture. The oval measure and faint outer ditch suggest a defended home, farmstead or boundary marker, though the exact user has vanished. The name preserves local awe: people saw more life there than reason required.

On a low but prominent drumlin ridge in pasture. A raised oval area (49.3m N-S; 40.2m E-W) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.7m max.). Traces of the outline of a wide infilled external fosse (Wth 2.3m) are evident. The original entrance is not recognisable. The SW quadrant of the interior is largely occupied by an irregularly shaped enclosure (LF013-007002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
